OOPPTTIIOONNSS _k_a_l_e_i_d_e_s_c_o_p_e accepts the following options: --rroooott Draw on the root window. --ccoolloorr__mmooddee mmoonnoo || nniiccee || ggrreeeeddyy Specify how kaleidescope uses colors. Mono uses just the default foreground and background colors. Nice uses one color for each segment (specified by nsegments). Greedy uses (ntrails * nsegments) + 1 colors. --iinnssttaallll Install a private colormap for the window. --vviissuuaall _v_i_s_u_a_l Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. --nnsseeggmmeennttss iinntteeggeerr The number of segments to draw. Default is 7. --nnttrraaiillss iinntteeggeerr The number of trails to draw. Default is 100. --llooccaall__rroottaattiioonn iinntteeggeerr The rate at which segments rotate around their center. Default is -59. --gglloobbaall__rroottaattiioonn iinntteeggeerr The rate at which segments rotate around the cen- ter of the window. Default is 1. --rreeddmmiinn,, --ggrreeeennmmiinn,, --bblluueemmiinn,, --rreeddrraannggee,, --ggrreeeennrraannggee,, --bblluueerraannggee All take an integer argument.
